‘A PARENTS THANK YOU’   

This is what we’re about – making a difference!

After attending his first two sessions for horse care tuition, a new participant rode for the first time during his third session – to the delight of everyone involved, including his mother and teaching assistant who accompanied him. It was a wonderful moment and a fantastic achievement.

This message was received from the participants mother.                        

“Good evening, 

I just wanted to extend my deepest thanks for the truly heart warming experience we had at your school today. 

Watching my son bravely get on JJ and enjoy his time riding was something I’ll never forget. It was a moment filled with pride, joy, and gratitude. Your staff were absolutely brilliant, patient, kind, and encouraging in all the right ways. 

You created a space where he felt safe, supported, and empowered, and that means more than words can express.

Thank you for the care, professionalism, and warmth you bring to what you do. Today was incredibly special for us.

Warm regards 

Vicki “
